How to keep your pond clear and well oxygenated
It's really nice when your pond has crystal clear water and you can see to the bottom, and not so great if your pond is bright green and murky with algae. There is a few things you can do to help keep your pond clear.....
Preformed Ponds
A few days ago it was World Frog Day, and frog spawn is appearing in ponds now. A very quick way to add a garden wildlife pond to your garden is to buy a rigid preformed pond.
End of summer patio pond
As the summer draws to a close, why not create a small pond on your patio or decking with a ready made, easy to install patio pond. Just add to your patio or decking, and add some water and aquatic plants. It makes a nice feature, and will attract birds to your garden, as birds will drink from it, and bathe in it. Add a solar water fountain to create the soothing sound of running water, which you might still be able to enjoy if we have a sunny September and October.
